Once I get all caught up I'm gonna post more. Right now I'm still working 66ish hours a week on the road, so I'm watching one game a day and I've been laser focused on it. Ok be nice. it's all like a death...We all have to go forth and learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawhizz Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Another addition - WR/return man Trevor Davis. Makes some sense. They got a speed WR in the draft, but Mooney isn’t a return guy (not sure why). Patterson and Cohen are the return starters but not much depth behind them.

Stinger226 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I suspect Patterson is going to get more reps at RB and maybe they want a replacement for him if he gets them. I expect his role to be greater at WR besides RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Between Artavis Pierce and Trevor Davis, they may be trying to replace Cohen before he becomes a UFA. I don't think Cohen gets a 2nd contract with the Bears, so it makes sense to start bringing guys in to find his eventual replacement.

They do need to draft another prospect mid draft hopefully next draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50england50 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Looks like we’ve added Ted Ginn jnr. Thought we were set at WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now have ARob, Miller, Ginn, Mooney, Wims, Ridley, Patterson, and Davis. Crazy to think 1 or 2 of them won't make the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan Grizzly Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 And the positions of need continue to be ignored. Isn’t this two WR FAs signed in as many days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Jason Peters got 6 Million last year. Say it with me LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 They may have signed Ginn as a kick returner too. If we cut Patterson, we open up $5 Million on the cap for Jason Peters or a Safety... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 If they were going to cut Patterson they would have did it before now. I think Patterson is going to get more reps at RB and maybe that is why we haven't signed a free agent RB yet. The last time Ginn returned kicks was 3 yrs ago where he had 19 punt returns for a 5.4 av. Doubt if they use him there. I didn't realize Peters had such a low salary, he might still be an option. 1 yr 4 mil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Ok, so a WR3 who can also be used on ST and a Safety. So now all we need is a vet RB2 and we are looking pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I like Patterson a LOT. I do hope we keep him. I would like to see him used more in the offense. If they can get value in the field from him, great. BUt they have to work him in and call his number. I was just saying that with Ginn on the team, Patterson's returner role overlaps. And that he is a place to find $5 Million in cap room *IF* you need it for something you think would be more helpful. I don't know if I can go so far, as much as I hate Leno, to say that I WOULD cut or trade Patterson and get Peters. But I'd have to think about it at least, and signing Ginn just changed that calculation, even if only a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Btw, the defense is stacked. We went from Floyd to Quinn, Prince to Johnson, and HHCD to Gipson. We have Jenkins rotating on the line with Trevis Gipson replacing Lynch as Edge3. The winner of Roberson, Burns, Toliver is our CB3. Mingo is our ILB3. Bush is our S3. We have are pretty solid across the board while returning 8 starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHCD to Gipson I'm not sure but I don't think we are any worse and might be a little better there. The CB depth and fight for roster spots might be the best we've ever had. We start Fuller/Johnson/Skrine then Shelley, Vildor, Burns, Toliver, Roberson, and off the practice squad Denmark and Joseph fighting for perhaps 2 or 3 spots.

Stinger226 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 The cool thing about this defense is they will bring a pass rush with out adding extra rushers. 7 people jamming the receivers with less time to throw. The turn overs are coming back. As AZ stated by the end the year this group could be better than last year's group. That will be pretty to watch.

BearFan PHX Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Yeah the defense is looking VERY good on paper. ANd considering the core was already working, it is an easy prediction that they will be really good this year. Top 3 or better even. There is a lot of reason for optimism on the offensive side of the ball too, but until one of the QBs takes the reigns and establishes some rhythm and expectations, it's just a bunch of names. Unlike the defense there is no core to build on, so predictions are tougher to make. Imagine that the defense plays lights out, but Nagy's offense never quite finds a rhythm. Imagine that we go 9-7 or 10-6, and then make an early exit in the playoffs, maybe winning one playoff game first. Imagine that all season and in the playoffs the defense kills it but the offense sputters. Do you fire Nagy but keep Pace? Maybe promote Pagano? Now imagine that the offense finds some rhythm with Graham and Ginn contributing heavily. There's no future there anyway given their ages. It's going to be a really interesting season. If all the cards fall right, it might even buy a us super bowl, but then a lot of our players would be free agents again anyway in 2021. Is this what it's like to be a Yankees fan?

Stinger226 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 If they have a winning record, I don't think either one is gone. They need to establish a running game and keep it part of every game plan. Average QB play gets us in the offense. We have to score TDs in the red this year instead of FGs. That's where the new TEs make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
